You ever consider a pinch of toe out up front?I started noticing some understeer in some corners that was slowing me down a little so I might up the rear spring rate. Also still need to man up on the downhill. I think I can get into the 55's here.
That is impressive. All that beating on the engine and no signs of issues.Oil report after 23 track days, the last three of them being with the Pure 700 turbo and tune. 10,140 total miles.
Motul 8100 XCESS 5w/40 since 1500 miles.

Great work Bryan!! If you keep it up, you‘ll be passing them soonAnother bit of video. Me chasing a IMSA TCR Audi RS3 with a IMSA pro driver. These do 0:55 laps in qualifying so they are faster than me at Lime Rock. Ironically there is nothing RS3 about these as per class rules, they are FWD and use the GTI/R 4 cyl. Approx 350whp to the ground and 2,7XXlbs so they are no slouches power to weight wise.
Another cool thing is I am doing multiple 0:58 laps in a row here. All last year I fought to get one sub 60 lap and now I am consistent sub 59's. Unfortunately, I overdrive the car towards the end and almost go off track so I pull back and pit in shortly after.
The fact you’re doing this without breaking down (extra power &heat), streetable & doesn’t look like a crash dummy vehicle is amazing ?It’s been so long since I have been there. I actually even did the Skip Barber 3 day racing school, not sure Skip is a thing any more at LRP. I do remember trying to break the 1 min mark but Iam sure I never did. That is really fast Bryan, cud’s to you.Just finished two days at Lime Rock with Hooked on Driving. Both days where four hours of open lapping. Totally spoils me for regular track days.
Ended up getting a new PB yesterday, 57.96 and consistently in the 58's. Car is hauling the mail at this track now. Was the fastest street car out there. It was an unmuffled day so there where some IMSA Porsches and Lambos and some TCR race cars out. I'll post some other fun videos of the weekend in the coming days. IMSA Porsches are stupid fast, and stupid loud.

Great laps I really wish I could see your braking and throttle on screen. Is that an AIM solo?. What mount do you use for your camera it is nice.Great work Bryan!! If you keep it up, you‘ll be passing them soonThe fact you’re doing this without breaking down (extra power on track is typically no bueno, excess heat), the car is streetable & doesn’t look like a crash dummy vehicle is amazing ?
Can you please come down and test at Sebring in the summer? I actually think if anyone could make it work, you can ??
Great commitment in the downhill your exit speed was fantastic much time gained on the front straightfunny enough, HOD in june was how i hit 57.9 last time as well, just much slower:
Last I heard he still owns LRP, and the racing school is still alive and well there... just $$$$$.It’s been so long since I have been there.
